While this coin is the 6th release in the Silver Lunar Series, it represents the 9th year in the zodiac. The overall series debuted in 1996 but just featured gold coins. It wasn’t until 1999 that silver coins were introduced. Lunar Series II was introduced in 2008 and Lunar Series III debuted in 2020.

The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse field of the 2004 Australian Silver Lunar Monkey Coin. Her Majesty is seen in right-profile relief, surrounded by identifying marks of the coin.

A monkey is seen on the reverse side of the 2004 2 oz Australian Lunar Monkey Coin. The monkey is shown perched on a branch, holding a stick, while looking at the viewer. Notably, the traditional Chinese character for “monkey” is shown.

Each 2004 2 oz Australian Silver Lunar Monkey Coin will be protected by a capsule during transit. In 2004, the series expanded to include a 1/2 kg and a 5 oz silver bullion option to go along with the standard five other sizes.
